NMon from IBM and it's free (as a beer).It's originally written for AIX but it is still one of the best tools I've ever seen. It can also collect data in the background as a detached job and they also have a nice "analyzer spreadsheet" if you want pretty graphics (I haven't tested that on OpenOffice but might work). I mainly use that at work for performance and machine analysis. -- Hakan (m1fcj) - http://www.hititgunesi.org _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
